Left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took to Instagram to wish him, referring to Babar by his nickname. “Happy Birthday, Bobby! Wishing you a great year ahead,” he wrote.
Notably, Shaheen Afridi is one of Pakistan’s premier bowlers.
Additionally, Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan highlighted his friendship with Babar, sharing a picture of them holding their jerseys together. “Happy birthday @babarazam. May you have a great year on and off the field. Everyone knows your batting class,” Shadab posted.
